The last time you whistled a tune or hummed a song-why did you choose that one? You may not consider yourself a musical person, but your little act of unintended music may be the key to unlocking within you a wealth of unsuspected creativity-a kind of creativity that goes way beyond music, too.
Lane Arye, PhD, a musician himself, focuses on the music that people do not intend to make. Using the highly regarded psychological model called Process Work, developed by Arnold Mindell, PhD, Arye has been teaching students around the world how to awaken their creativity, using music as the starting point, but including all art forms and ways of expression.
The unintentional appears at moments when some hidden part of us, something beyond our usual awareness, suddenly tries to express itself. If we start paying attention to what is trying to happen rather than to what we think should happen, we open the door to self-discovery and creativity. Sometimes what we regard as "mistakes" in self-expression are in fact treasures.
The book is rich with real-life stories, ideas, and practical techniques for unlocking creativity, which Arye dispenses with humor, insight, and enthusiasm.

reviewed Unintentional Music: Unleashing Your Deepest Creativity on July 26, 2018 Unintentional Music: Unleashing Your Deepest Creativity
In school I hated classical music and couldn't understand why we had to listen to all these composers. Over time this changed and especially with broadway musicals as my gateway genre I learnt to enjoy good compositions and melodies.
Classical Music Top 40 could be seen as a simple best-of-all-time list but it's more than that. It does a great job in bringing the appeal for this kind of music to people like me (first-time listeners). The author compares it to a gourmet meal. Even if you don't know a thing you should be able to enjoy it. That's a good way to look at it. The music has been written to entertain and if you feel something then the job is done. There is even the strong advice that there is no need to learn listening. Let the pictures come up on their own.
Billy Joel makes another point in his foreword. He writes that all "problems" have already been solved by composers like Beethoven so when you study the classics you will learn a lot as a musician.
The book is structured in the following way: first the piece is briefly described in the historical context and the reader learns something about the composer. Next some passages are highlighted and described in detail. This is followed by a recommendation of 3 recordings. They may be hard to find and as the book was published 1995 any modern recording will be missing. Finally there is the "If you enjoyed this piece..." part that allows you to discover works by the same composer or similar in nature.
I haven't listened to every single piece yet but the selection includes many of my personal favorites (Debussy, Dvorak, Mahler, Orff, Tchaikovsky to name a few). This looks like the perfect list for the anti-fan. :-)
5 out of 5 stars
